Shocked Rock
This large pebble in the field looked to me as if it had a surprised expression on its face. Maybe it had been ploughed up and it was the first time it had seen the outside world since it disappeared into the Ice Age boulder clay!

Carneddau And Cranes
Approaching Billinge Lump from the north west and the views to Liverpool and Snowdonia opened up. The Carneddau range stretching from Ogwen to Conwy with the MegaMax cranes by the Mersey at Seaforth in view beyond the mosses.

Distinctive
As the sun set behind the Clwydian Hills the profile of the Eryri/Snowdonia mountains became much more distinct. Moel Siabod is the mountain in this shot with Knowsley tower blocks rather closer.

Yr Wyddfa And Glyderau
Another sunset view from Billinge Lump. To the left is Y Lliwedd with Snowdon's summit along with that of Garnedd Ugain in the centre i.e. the Snowdon Horseshoe. To the right are the Glyderau with the identification made easier by the knobbly summit of Tryfan.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.

From Siabod To Tal y Fan
A post-sunset Eryri panorama from Billinge Lump. Moel Siabod, the Snowdon Horseshoe, the Glyderau and then the long profile of the Carneddau with the dome of Carnedd Llewelyn being the highest and Tal y Fan, above Conwy, being the northernmost outlier.

Tontine
A line of foxgloves along the field boundary with Ashurst's Beacon in the distance. Despite the urban encroachment onto green belt there's still a lot to like locally.
